Pictures has surface-showing Jabba from a ANH-I thought
it was to come with its Dais. I have heard
from Hasbro that these three figures may happen next year too-Hermie Olde, Whipid, and Hem Dazon. A viewer and
a member of JEDIDENFER has seen the new Jabba and
he said he was happy with it!!!!
-
Most rumors point to a ROTJ Jabba at this point...
The Jabba's Palace wave is supposed to include Jabba so sayeth Hasbro via JediMAC
Adam P at GH had posted that a while back, the picture is confusing I know and they better not screw us! :-*
-
I can't wait for a new Jabba. Now to find room for all this new stuff thats coming out! ;D
-
The black and white image that I saw of Jabba looks like it is a resculpt of the Jabba Glob. Or so I think it is. The image only showed most of jabba and what to me looked like a plastic base which I am lead to believe it is his dias.
It has come to my attention that the pict that I saw might of been a mock up for the Jabba. But I do not think so.
I hope to see a color image of Jabba soon. If I am privilaged to see something before the next Insider comes out I will be sure to post about it.
-
ROTJ ;)
-
To Jimmy you listen. ;)
I also think Hem Dazon and Hermi are coming next year one way or the other.
-
I heard that it was supposed to be from ROTJ and come with a platform as well
-
Where are these pictures everyone has seen here? I'd like to see it.
-
I also heard that there will be a new Bib Fortuna and C3PO for Jabba's Palace besides the new Luke that already has been mentioned.

I would really like to see a new Bib Fortuna done. Not that there's anything wrong with the ones that I have already been made, but a new sculpt would be great.

This Jabba will obviously be from ROTJ, as that's the version that the fans and collectors have been clamoring for for years now! Plus, it was stated in the Comic Con news that it will be included in the Jabba's Palace themed wave, which is not attributable to the ANH version.
I'm sure Hasbro's going to go all out on this one, due to making the fans wait for it for so long. Expect the dais, frog bowl, pipe, and probably a Slave Leia or Oola to keep Jabba company! Can't wait for Insider #71 to find out! Unfortunately, it sounds like we'll be waiting until March of next year to finally get our hands on one though. Hopefully it's worth the aggravatingly long wait! But the bottom line is that it's finally coming for sure, so I'm one happy collector!

I had mentioned this piece long time ago in a... OH wait... same galazy just a long time ago ;)
If anyone remembers my stint at Trade Federation.net they might remember I broke news of this last August.
It was always planned as a Return version... and was noted then as a vintage-esque type piece.
One of the last emails I got from my Hong Kong source was some of it was scaled back... originally he thought it was being nixed... but thankfully that was a misunderstanding.
He mentioned it's still a great piece though a few corners were cut. What those are I would have say pack-ins to some minor details at the most.
I actually have got to see a pic just yet... but should catch a glimpse this week.
I'll let everyone how eye bulging it is... or isn't.
-
Hey Jimmy,
Did you ever get a look at the new Jabba!! You said early
that you source is in Hong Kong that they list a Hem Dazon and
Hermie Olde is there any R1-G4 on that list. Has your source
share what the other deluxe set are for 2004. Are there any
ship plan or playset by any chance. Thank for the info
-
all i know is it better be a damn good jabba ...
with all we have gottn, we deserve it.
thats my 2.5 cents..
-
I'd rather get a new Bib Fortuna first, as well as a new Weequay... but I definitely want another Jabba too.
:P
-
my last bib fortuna died...
i'd much rather him come with a bib rather than an expected salacious
hehe
bib is so needed. its not even funny.
-
Hey guys...
Sorry not much news lately from my HK source. Hasbro is in full throttle production wise for time lost w/ SARS and also normal orders.
Once I get any word on any more stuff or what's been talked about I will let all know...
-
Ugh. I don't know if I like how this sounds so much... From GH (http://www.galactichunter.com):
We won't see all new toolings for the upcoming Deluxe Jabba the Hutt, but it will be more ROTJ movie accurate, including new and improved deco. The gangster slug will have a new head and an older torso with a tail that hooks around. A hooka pipe, chubbas, and railing from his throne are included. Jabba also has a movable tongue which can be taken out and replaced with the pipe.
If Hasbro skimps out on this figure as it sounds like they will, I'm going to be VERY pissed! Older torso?! Say what?! I don't like the torsos of ANY of the three previous Jabbas, and I highly doubt they'll use the vintage mold which is better than all of these. Very poor cost cutting decision on one of the most highly anticipated figures of the modern era. I am now very much dreading my SW Insider #71 issue... :(
-
As I had mentioned the Jabba was scaled back... and I guess we know how much now >:(
The Jabba is now said to come w/ his pipe, frogs, and bong... A far cry from what it was originally due to come packed w/...
I talked earlier today to my guy in HK and he mentioned I was a decision based on Hasbro's 2004 plan of doing figure waves and deluxe. The cost of the throne would have increased the price, obviously, and so they scrapped some of the inclusions to lower the price point and make it more "deluxe"...
This is one case were it's incredibly justifiable to b**** out... I mean when is the next time we'll see a Retutn Jabba??? :-\
I don't know about you guys but I wouldn't have winked an eye about paying more for a Jabba w/ all the little extras he deserves.
As of now I understand the Jabba will have a totally new sculpted head though he will sport the glob body...
-
I built a custom dias a few years back, and I love it. It works out for me, but not everybody wants to build their own dias.
Hopefully Hasbro will make some kind of playset with the dias included... I dunno.
-
I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT I HEARD ABOUT THE MOST REQUESTED FIGURE
US COLLECTORS HAVE BEEN AFTER. A RESULPT!!!! hasbro!!!!! IT
IS TIME FELLOW COLLECTORS THAT hasbro HEAR OUR CONCERNS
ABOUT THIS!!!!! NOW!!!!! DO NOT WAIT -SOME ONE START A PETITION
OR SOMETHING LET HASBRO KNOW THAT THIS IS A POOR DECISION!!!
THIS IS THE REASON WHY IT WAS GOING TO BE SHOWN IN THE
INSIDER BECAUSE hasbRO knew that they would caught HELL at
Q and A time from us collectors!!!!! I have not seen the piece yet
and I am dissapointed NO THRONE!!!! WHAT THE H_____!!!!!!!!!
>:( :( >:( :( >:( :( >:(
-
Don't like the sound of that GH report at all. >:(
I'm going to be sorely disappointed if something as long-awaited as the ROTJ Jabba turns out to be a dud. Of all the things to cut costs on, this is the wrong thing. We've waited years for... a retooling? No dias? Bah!
I've always figured we were waiting so long for this because it needed to be done right - dino-skin, poseable tail, all the accessories, quality paint apps, and perhaps a pack-in figure, like a seated Leia. Too bad to hear that doesn't seem to be the plan.
After all this time I'd rather have no Jabba than blow the chance to do it right. Fingers crossed it all turns out ok...
-
I like the idea about the new head with the moveable/removeable tongue, but an old torso? >:( If they don't use the Vintage mold, then I'm guessing that they will either be using the POTF2 body (From the Han 2pack, with moving tail), or the Jabba Glob mold.
-
As I mentioned above it is not coming w/ the dais/throne... Also as I mentioned fromw hat I have heard from someone preety much in the know in Hong Kong is that they will be reusing the Jabba glob body...
-
I'm just dumfounded that after ALL this time, Hasbro's going to lay another partial rehash on us. I agree with SilverZed3's comments, that I thought the delay was due to them wanting to really put out an amazing figure. If it winds up with the Jabba Glob's torso, that's just going to be an absolute crime. >:( That thing is so not to scale, it's not even funny. It's less than half the size an authentically scaled Jabba should be! After all the great 2004 news and pictures, this announcement is just a terrible setback in the righting of the last years wrongs.
What's the problem with putting out a Deluxe Beast at a higher price point, as was done previously with the Rancor and Bantha? Those both sold very well from what I recall. If those new Jabba blows as bad as I'm anticipating, I'll likely just be sticking with my very nicely done vintage version. It's a crying shame that a toy company from two decades ago (Kenner) can make a much nicer figure than what we're likely to see soon from Hasbro!
Hopefully his picture in the upcoming insider will prove me wrong though, but I'm not holding my breath.
-
Recently we have been told that Hasbro is not putting
the dias wit the new deluxe Jabba coming in 2004.
Hasbro had to cut back because of the price concern.
IDEA HASBRO!!!!! HOPE YOU LISTENING!!!!!!!!!
Include the DIAS which is already scultpted in the
NEW JABBA PALACE 4 PK (a TOY'R US exlusive)
Include:
1. Ree-Yees(A hard to get figure)
2.Jawa(with fan like in the movie)
3.Beedo(Greedo resulpt-great accessory)
4.BJ-38(the other droid in the torture room-just
resculpt a new head and put it on a
EVE-9D9 body)
and finally a DIAS!!!!!!! Which would make EVERY COLLECTOR HAPPY!!!!! A Win for HASBRO. A Win for the KIDS. A Win for the Collectors!!!!!!!!
-
Sometimes ideas are just TOO good.
While this makes sense for collectors who want to have the whole set, including the dias in the TRU set doesn't really add much (if any) play value to that set. And the notion that you need to buy an exclusive to complete your Jabba is pretty shady.
I know I'D buy it, but I think TRU would rather have components to the droid torture chamber than an empty dias. It's a good thought, though.
Personally, I'd rather the new Jabba come with his dias AND a somewhat dedicated reclined Slave Leia. But that's just silly talk.
-
Cool idea. But it's DAIS, no DIAS.
-
Well I guess the old Jabba from 1983 is still the best Jabba we are probably ever going to get. 1983 - geez.
-
I actually have the EPISODE I Jabba glob on the vintage throne. It looks pretty cool like that.
